Lyrics

Watch the River Run
________________________________________

(This is a song, about a dream I had)

I was walking with Woody Guthrie
Down that long, and familiar road
We were singin' about the Gypsy Davey
Walkin' through the streets of Gold

There's a time for livin'
A time for dyin'
A time for the rising of the sun

There's a time for believin'
And a time for denyin'
And a time to Watch the River Run

We came upon old Dylan Thomas
He was standin' in a sea of green
Under Milkwood, not surprising
Was the last place he was ever seen

There's a time for livin'
A time for dyin'
A time for the rising of the sun

There's a time for believin'
And a time for denyin'
And a time to Watch the River Run

The Water is Wide, my mama told me
She said, Son, you're gonna need a boat for two
So I'll find me a girl I can marry
She will row, and I will sing for you
(She'll row and I'll sing)

There's a time for livin'
A time for dyin'
A time for the rising of the sun

There's a time for believin'
And a time for denyin'
And a time to Watch the River Run
